IQ tests are ideal
for measuring differences in abilities for tasks that are
analytical in nature, and that is why scores show significant
correlations with academic achievement. However intelligence
is a broad concept and includes skills or behaviors that
cover a much wider variety of tasks. Emotional IQ and creativity,
for example, are best examined through other tests. Therefore
your IQ score should not be regarded as the most important
indicator of intelligence or future success, but rather
as an evaluation of the specific skills that are measured
and reported by a particular test. Click here

Your score will reveal your performance
relative to everyone else in your age group. IQ scores follow
a normal distribution, with two thirds of each age group
having an IQ score between 85 and 115, and with almost everyone
else scoring between 70 and 130. The questions you get right
or wrong will help you identify strengths and weaknesses,
thus revealing educational opportunities, or uncovering
hidden talents.
